I finally ran/walked/limped a 5k. Small potatoes for some you out there, but that's huge for me. I am generally lazy and don't like to do much of anything other than eat or sleep. Big stuff for me.
However, today I was out running and some kids heckled me. Now, I know I shouldn't let that bother me, they're just kids and all, but dang that smarts! I was bullied growing up and it seriously messed with my head. I don't think that's something you can't just tell someone to get over and deal with. And I challenge anyone to try that themselves. I've worked so hard to get where I am and it's sad that some kid yelling stupidly at me can just take me back to being nine and having someone kick an ant mound at you.
I guess all I can do is keep running and push through it all and revel in what I have made myself into. I just remember that I am a work in progress and that truly great things take time. I also tell myself that those kids are going to grow up and be fat. Ha!!
